Still playing catchup to the end! Here’s the latest way-overdue Lyric-of-the-Day project recap from 2013-2014 from April 2014.

As a refresher, each day from Jan. 1, 2013 through Dec. 31, 2014, I posted a lyric on my Twitter feed. At the end of each month, I created a Spotify playlist of the songs featured, and throughout much of 2013-14 here on the blog.

Here’s April’s #LOTD2014 playlist (find the Spotify playlist I’ve created from these lyrics linked at the end of the post or on the clickable image at right), with some brief explanations (in italics) for a number of the lyrics.

“He headed west ’cause he felt a change would do him good/See some old friends good for the soul” #BobSeger “Hollywood Nights” #LOTD2014 4/8

“Come on and get your overdose/Collect it at the borderline/And they want to get up in your head” #BrokenBells “The High Road” #LOTD2014 4/9

“There’s a part of me that still believes/My soul will soar above the trees” #WhiteLies “To Lose My Life” #LOTD2014 4/10

“Exchangin good lucks face to face/Checkin his stash by the trash at St. Marks Place” #Replacements “Alex Chilton” #LOTD2014 4/11 #Coachella(Night 1 of Coachella 2014 brought a great show from The Replacements)

“I’m so happy ’cause today/I’ve found my friends/They’re in my head” #Nirvana “Lithium” Great #Muse cover at #Coachella#LOTD2014 4/12 (The highlight of Muse’s set was this cover played to remember Cobain’s suicide, 20 years later.)

“I don’t understand how the last card is played/But somehow the vital connection is made” #Elastica “Connection” #LOTD2014 4/29 (A salute to the beginning of Response Expo and all of its networking glory.)
